Request a Sample

The 3M Commercial Solutions Sample Request Program is intended for businesses involved in the graphics and signage industry. It is not available to consumers or the general public. A wide format printer (typically 48” wide and larger) or other converting equipment is required to make use of most 3M graphic films.

If you are a distributor or distributor sales person needing a sample for a customer, please do not use this form and contact your 3M sales representative.

We reserve the right to disqualify without notification any sample request that does not appear to be for graphic manufacturing purposes. You may be contacted to verify your request. You may not make any part of this Website available as part of another web site whether by hyperlink framing on the internet or otherwise, including on any website that collects or advertises free products or samples.
